–American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer, on his radio show.
Fischer, in his infinite wisdom, blames the horrendous flooding in Texas on “sodomites,” agreeing with a caller who opined that “sodomite mayor” Annise Parker (Houston’s openly lesbian mayor) was the cause of the floods.
“If you’re going to attribute the flooding in Texas to some kind of supernatural cause, you can make a geographical connection between the flooding and the practice of the occult and witchcraft and the embrace of homosexuality,” Fischer stated. “That’s where the disaster is being felt the worse. Sodom and Gamorrah – it was a natural disaster, but it was very localised. It wiped out those two towns, it didn’t wipe out the entire region, it just wiped out those two cities where homosexuality had been embraced.”

Drag artists and advocates fighting back in the culture war against drag and LGBTQ rights have seen triumphs and setbacks this summer. Two recent federal court decisions -- one in Florida, the other in Texas -- illustrate opposite shifts in the war being waged over anti-drag laws in states around the nation.
In August, a federal appeals court upheld Florida's law that bans performers or venues from conducting any "adult live performance" in the presence of a minor. The law defines "adult live performance" in terms loose enough to apply to practically any performer who appears in drag in a public space -- from a drag brunch to a Pride parade -- where a minor could be present, even with their parent or guardian's consent.

A federal judge in Texas has struck down a state law seeking to restrict drag shows, declaring the law to be unconstitutional.
U.S. District Judge David Hittner of the Southern District of Texas found that the measure, known as Senate Bill 12, improperly restricts speech in violation of the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.
Under the law, business owners who host a "sexually oriented performance" on public or private property can be fined up to $10,000 per violation if anyone under the age of 18 is present. Performers can be charged with a Class A misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $4,000 or up to a year in jail.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill has signed a "shield law" protecting people who seek reproductive and transgender health care. The law also bars state officials from assisting with out-of-state investigations of those who travel to New Jersey for such care.
The bill passed the New Jersey General Assembly and State Senate on party-line votes in June. It prohibits state officials from extraditing people who are under investigation in other states for accessing or allowing their children to access abortion-related or transgender-related health services.
